This volume includes 14 papers from the National Academy of Engineering Tenth Annual U.S. Frontiers of Engineering (USFOE) Symposium held in September 2004. USFOE meetings bring together 100 outstanding engineers (ages 30 to 45) to exchange information about leading-edge technologies in a range of engineering fields. The 2004 symposium covered four topic areas: engineering for extreme environments, designer materials, multiscale modeling, and engineering and entertainment. The papers describe leading-edge research on scalable mobile robots for deployment in polar climates, the challenges of landing...
This volume includes 14 papers from the National Academy of Engineering Tenth Annual U.S. Frontiers of Engineering (USFOE) Symposium held in September 2004. USFOE meetings bring together 100 outstanding engineers (ages 30 to 45) to exchange information about leading-edge technologies in a range of engineering fields. The 2004 symposium covered four topic areas: engineering for extreme environments, designer materials, multiscale modeling, and engineering and entertainment. The papers describe leading-edge research on scalable mobile robots for deployment in polar climates, the challenges of landing on Mars, thin-film active materials, vascular tissue engineering, small-scale processes and large-scale simulations of the climate system, simulations of physically accurate illumination in computer graphics, and designing socially intelligent robots, among other topics. Appendixes include information about contributors, the symposium program, and a list of meeting participants. This is the tenth volume in the USFOE series.
